CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims priority to and the benefit of the provisional/non-provisional patent application titled “Dice Roll Wagering Game”, application No. 62/656,378, filed in the United States Patent and Trademark Office on Apr. 12, 2018. The specifications of the above referenced patent applications are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

BACKGROUND

A dice roll wagering game is one of the oldest forms of wagering and is based upon the probability for an occurrence of specific combinations of a numeric total of numeric indicia on exposed faces of a rolled pair of dice. Each dice comprises six faces with each face identified by a numeric indicium comprising 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. Therefore, there are thirty-six (36) possible combinations of numeric indicia that may appear during the roll of the pair of dice. The combinations of the numeric total of numeric indicia on exposed faces of the rolled dice comprises, for example, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12. This statistical breakdown shows there are thirty-six combinations of numeric indicia that may appear in the rolled pair of dice and probabilities of the numeric total of numeric indicia on exposed faces of the rolled pair of dice for deciding winners or losers of the wagering game.

In general, a wagering board used for a dice roll wagering game consists of a wagering section and a numeric display section. The wagering section allows players participating in the wagering game to place a wager on a wagering option, for example, an ante area, based on a predefined criteria and predefined rules for winning/losing the wager placed on the wagering option, for example, the ante. Recent developments in wagering games allow players to place wagers on multiple wagering options on the wagering section of the wagering board. However, the existing wagering boards do not clearly and transparently display the predefined rules and predefined criteria for placing wagers on one or more of multiple wagering options.

Hence, there exists a long felt but unresolved need for providing a wagering board with separate sections for displaying each individual wagering option, displaying predefined rules, and displaying predefined criteria associated with each individual wagering option for each individual player, to allow the player to place the wager on each individual wager option transparently to the other players of the board game.

FIGS. 2A-2D exemplarily illustrate a method for playing an activity using a board and components kit 100 exemplarily illustrated in FIG. 1A, based on outcomes of a rolls of dice 111 exemplarily illustrated in FIG. 1A. The method disclosed herein, comprises providing 201 a board and components kit 100, the board and components kit 100 further comprises a board 101 with a wagering section 102 and a numeric display section 109, a pair of dice 111, a dice cup 112, and a marking chip 113 as exemplarily illustrated in FIG. 1A and as disclosed in the detailed description of FIG. 1A. For purposes of illustration, the detailed description refers to two players playing the activity; however, the scope of the activity 100 disclosed herein is not limited to two players but may be extended to the board game played by a single player or by more than two players.

In the method disclosed herein, on the wagering section 102 of the board 101, each player places 202 an ante on the ante area 103 exemplarily illustrated in FIGS. 1A-1B, with or without a wager on the horns bonus area 104 exemplarily illustrated in FIGS. 1A-1B. On the wagering section 102 of the board 101, each player places 203 an ante on the ante area 103 with or without a wager on the doubles bonus area 105 exemplarily illustrated in FIGS. 1A-1B. A dealer of the activity shakes the dice 111 in the dice cup 112 and rolls out 204 the dice 111 from the dice cup 112 for a first time. The dealer performs 205 one or more of multiple first actions in the activity based on a first numeric total of numeric indicia on exposed faces of the rolled dice 111. The first actions comprises terminating 205 a placing furthers wagers in the activity, if the first numeric total is equal to 2, 3, 11, or 12, declaring the players as losers, and taking away the ante placed on the ante area 103 of the wagering section 102 of the board 101; declaring 205 b the players who placed wagers on the horns bonus area 104 of the wagering section 102 of the board 101 as horns bonus winners, if the first numeric total is equal to 2, 3, 11, or 12; declaring 205 c the players who placed wagers on the horns bonus area 104 of the wagering section 102 of the board 101 as losers, if the first numeric total is not equal to 2, 3, 11, or 12; declaring 205 d the players who placed wagers on the doubles bonus area 105 of the wagering section 102 of the board 101 as doubles bonus winners, if the numeric indicia on the exposed face of each die of the pair of dice 111 are equal to each other; and declaring 205 e the players who placed wagers on the doubles bonus area 105 of the wagering section 102 of the board 101 as losers, if the numeric indicia on the exposed face of each die of the pair of dice 111 are not equal to each other. The dealer declares horns bonus winners and doubles bonus winners on rolling out the dice 111 for the first time.

The dealer rewards 206 each of the horns bonus winners and the doubles bonus winners with the wagers placed on the horns bonus area 104 and the doubles bonus area 105 respectively, multiplied by a predetermined amount, for example, 4. The dealer takes away 207 the wagers placed on the horns bonus area 104 of the wagering section 102 of the board 101, if the first numeric total is not equal to 2, 3, 11, or 12. The dealer takes away 208 the wagers placed on the doubles bonus area 105 of the wagering section 102 of the board 101, if the numeric indicia on the exposed face of each die of the pair of dice 111 are not equal to each other. On the numeric display section 109 of the board 101, the dealer marks 209 one of the numbers equal to the first numeric total of the numeric indicia on the exposed faces of the rolled dice 111 using the marking chip 113.

On the under area 106 or the over area 107 of the wagering section 102 of the board 101 exemplarily illustrated in FIGS. 1A-1B, the players place 210 wagers based on a prediction of a second numeric total of a subsequent roll of the dice 111 as under the first numeric total or over the first numeric total respectively. The amount of the wagers is determined based on the predetermined criteria 108 c marked on the wagering section 102 of the board 101 exemplarily illustrated in FIG. 1A. The predetermined criteria 108 c for determining the amount of the wagers to be placed on the wagering section 102 of the board 101 for a subsequent roll of the dice 111 comprises 1, 2, 3, or 4 times the placed ante, if the first numeric total equals 7; 1, 2, or 3 times the placed ante, if the first numeric total equals 6 or 8; 1 or 2 times the placed ante, if the first numeric total equals 5 or 9; and 1 time the placed ante, if the first numeric total equals 4 or 10. In an embodiment as exemplarily illustrated in FIG. 1C, the predetermined criteria 108 c for determining the amount of the wagers for the subsequent roll of the dice 111 comprises, for example, 4 times the placed ante, if the first numeric total equals 7; 3 times the placed ante, if the first numeric total equals 6 or 8; 2 times the placed ante, if the first numeric total equals 5 or 9; and 1 time the placed ante, if the first numeric total equals 4 or 10.

The dealer then shakes the dice 111 in the dice cup 112 and rolls out 211 the dice 111 from the dice cup 112 for a second time. The dealer performs 212 one or more of multiple second actions in the activity based on a second numeric total of numeric indicia on exposed faces of the rolled dice 111. The second actions comprise declaring 212 a the players as winners or losers based on an accurate prediction or an inaccurate prediction of the second numeric total being under or over the first numeric total by the players who placed the wagers on the under area 106 or the over area 107 of the wagering section 102 of the board 101 respectively; and declaring 212 b the players as losers if the second numeric total is equal to the first numeric total. The dealer takes away 213 the ante and the wagers placed on the under area 106 or the over area 107 of the wagering section 102 of the board 101 from the losers. The dealer pushes back 214 the ante and pays the respective wagers to the winners. In an embodiment, the players place wagers based on a prediction of a second numeric total of a subsequent roll of the dice 111 as equal to the first numeric total in the tie area and the players have an option of placing the wager on the under area 106, the over area 107, or the tie area.

Disclosed below are examples of playing the activity exemplarily illustrated in FIGS. 1A-1C.

Example 1

A player places an ante on the ante area 103 of the wagering section 102 of the board 101. A dealer places the pair of dice 111 in the dice cup 112, shakes the dice 111 in the dice cup 112, and then turns the dice cup 112 over on the board 101 to roll the dice 111 and reveal the numeric indicia on exposed faces of the rolled dice 111. The numeric indicia on the exposed faces of the rolled dice 111 are 2 and 4. The first numeric total of the numeric indicia on the exposed faces of the rolled dice 111 is 2+4=6. As the first numeric total of the numeric indicia on the exposed faces of the rolled dice 111 reveals no horns number, that is, 2, 3, 11, or 12, the activity continues. The dealer places the marking chip 113 on the number 6 corresponding to the first numeric total 6 on the numeric display section 109 of the board 101 to remind the player of the first numeric total. The player predicts whether a second dice roll combination, that is, an outcome of a second roll of the dice 111, could be under or over the first numeric total, that is, 6. The player decides to wager on the second dice roll combination being over 6 and places a wager on the over area 107 of the wagering section 102 of the board 101. The dealer places the dice 111 back in the dice cup 112, shakes the dice 111 in the dice cup 112, and turns the dice cup 112 over on the board 101 to roll the dice 111, and reveal the numeric indicia on the exposed faces of the rolled dice 111. The numeric indicia on the exposed faces of the rolled dice 111 are 4 and 5. The second numeric total of the numeric indicia on the exposed faces of the rolled dice 111 is 4+5=9. As 9 is higher than 6, the player wins the hand and the dealer declares the player as a winner. The dealer pays the winner the wager placed on the over area 107 of the wagering section 102 of the board 101 and pushes back the ante placed on the ante area 103 of the wagering section 102 of the board 101 to the winner.

Example 2

A player places an ante on the ante area 103 of the wagering section 102 of the board 101. A dealer places the pair of dice 111 in the dice cup 112, shakes the dice 111 in the dice cup 112, and turns the dice cup 112 over on the board 101 to roll the dice 111 and reveal the numeric indicia on exposed faces of the rolled dice 111. The numeric indicia on the exposed faces of the rolled dice 111 are 4 and 3. The first numeric total of the numeric indicia on the exposed faces of the rolled dice 111 is 4+3=7. The player predicts whether a second dice roll combination would be under or over the first numeric total, that is, 7. The player decides to wager on the second dice roll combination being under 7 and places a wager on the under area 106 of the wagering section 102 of the board 101. The dealer places the dice 111 back in the dice cup 112, shakes the dice 111 in the dice cup 112, and turns the dice cup 112 over on the board 101 to roll the dice 111 and reveal the numeric indicia on the exposed faces of the rolled dice 111. The numeric indicia on the exposed faces of the rolled dice 111 are 4 and 5. The second numeric total of the numeric indicia on the exposed faces of the rolled dice 111 is 4+5=9. The player loses since 9 is higher than 7. The dealer declares the player as a loser and takes away the wager placed on the under area 106 of the wagering section 102 of the board 101 and the ante placed on the ante area 103 of the wagering section 102 of the board 101.

Example 3

A player places an ante on the ante area 103 of the wagering section 102 of the board 101. A dealer places the pair of dice 111 in the dice cup 112, shakes the dice 111 in the dice cup 112, and turns the dice cup 112 over on the board 101 to roll the dice 111 and reveal the numeric indicia on the exposed faces of the rolled dice 111. The numeric indicia on the exposed faces of the rolled dice 111 are 2 and 3. The first numeric total of the numeric indicia on the exposed faces of the rolled dice 111 is 2+3=5. The player predicts whether a second dice roll combination would be under or over the first numeric total, that is, 5. The player decides to wager on the second dice roll combination being over 5 and places a wager on the over area 107 of the wagering section 102 of the board 101. The dealer places the dice 111 back in the dice cup 112, shakes the dice 111 in the dice cup 112, and turns the dice cup 112 over on the board 101 to roll the dice 111 and reveal the numeric indicia on the exposed faces of the rolled dice 111. The numeric indicia on the exposed faces of the rolled dice 111 are 3 and 2. The second numeric total of the numeric indicia on the exposed faces of the rolled dice 111 is 3+2=5. The player loses since the first numeric total and the second numeric total are equal, and a tie has occurred. As a tie occurred, the player loses in accordance with the rules 108 b for losing in the activity marked on the board 101 exemplarily illustrated in FIG. 1A. The dealer declares the player as a loser based on the tie, and takes away the wager placed on the over area 107 of the wagering section 102 of the board 101 and the ante placed on the ante area 103 of the wagering section 102 of the board 101.

Example 4

Multiple players place their antes on the ante areas 103 of the wagering section 102 of the board 101. A dealer places the pair of dice 111 in the dice cup 112, shakes the dice 111 in the dice cup 112, and turns the dice cup 112 over on the board 101 to roll the dice 111 and reveal the numeric indicia on exposed faces of the rolled dice 111. The numeric indicia on the exposed faces of the rolled dice 111 are 6 and 5. The first numeric total of the numeric indicia on the exposed faces of the rolled dice 111 is 6+5=11. Based on the occurrence of a horns number on the first roll of the dice 111, all the players lose in accordance with the predefined rules 108 b for losing in the activity marked on the board 101 exemplarily illustrated in FIG. 1A. The dealer declares the players as losers based on the occurrence of the horns number and takes away the ante placed on the ante area 103 of the wagering section 102 of the board 101.

Example 5

In an embodiment of the activity disclosed herein, a horns bonus wager can be made on the first roll of the dice 111 only and a horns bonus wager payout is, for example, 4 to 1 in accordance with the predefined rules 108 a for winning the horns bonus marked on the board 101 as exemplarily illustrated in FIG. 1A and FIG. 1C. That is, if, on the first roll of the dice 111, a dealer rolls any dice combination equaling a horns number 2, 3, 11, or 12, a player who made the horns bonus wager wins. Consider an example where a player places an ante on the ante area 103 and a wager of, for example, $5 on the horns bonus area 104 of the wagering section 102 of the board 101. A dealer places the pair of dice 111 in the dice cup 112, shakes the dice 111 in the dice cup 112, and turns the dice cup 112 over on the board 101 to roll the dice 111 and reveal the numeric indicia on exposed faces of the rolled dice 111. If the first numeric total of numeric indicia on the exposed faces of the rolled dice 111 is 2, 3, 11, or 12, then the dealer declares the player who placed the wager on the a horns bonus area 104 of the wagering section 102 of the board 101 as a horns bonus winner and pays the horns bonus winner an amount equal to, for example, 4 times the wager the player placed on the horns bonus area 104. Consider an example where the numeric indicia on the exposed faces of the rolled dice 111 are 6 and 5. The first numeric total of the numeric indicia on the exposed faces of the rolled dice 111 is 6+5=11. The dealer declares the player who placed the wager on the horns bonus area 104 of the wagering section 102 of the board 101 as a horns bonus winner, pays the horns bonus winner a reward equal to, for example, 4 times $5 that is equal to $20, and pushes back the original wager, that is, the ante to the horns bonus winner.

Example 6

A player places an ante on the ante area 103 and a wager on the horns bonus area 104 of the wagering section 102 of the board 101. A dealer places the pair of dice 111 in the dice cup 112, shakes the dice 111 in the dice cup 112, and turns the dice cup 112 over on the board 101 to roll the dice 111 and reveal the numeric indicia on exposed faces of the rolled dice 111. The numeric indicia on the exposed faces of the rolled dice 111 are 4 and 2. The first numeric total of the numeric indicia on the exposed faces of the rolled dice 111 is 4+2=6. Since the first numeric total is not equal to 2, 3, 11 or 12, that is, the first numeric total is not a horns number, the dealer declares the player who placed the wager on the horns bonus area 104 of the wagering section 102 of the board 101 as a horns bonus loser and takes away the wager placed on the horns bonus area 104 of the wagering section 102 of the board 101; the dealer pays back the wager placed on the ante area 103 of the board 101 as the first numerical total is equal to the horns number.

Example 7

In an embodiment of the activity disclosed herein, a doubles bonus wager can be made on the first roll of the dice 111 only and a doubles bonus wager payout is, for example, 4 to 1 in accordance with the predefined rules 108 a for winning the doubles bonus marked on the board 101, as exemplarily illustrated in FIG. 2B. A player places an ante on the ante area 103 and a wager on the doubles bonus area 105 of the wagering section 102 of the board 101. A dealer places the pair of dice 111 in the dice cup 112, shakes the dice 111 in the dice cup 112, and turns the dice cup 112 over on the board 101 to roll the dice 111 and reveal the numeric indicia on exposed faces of the rolled dice 111. The numeric indicia on the exposed faces of the rolled dice 111 are 5 and 5. The matching numeric indicia on the dice 111 are considered as doubles. The dealer declares the player who placed the wager on the doubles bonus area 105 of the wagering section 102 of the board 101 as a doubles bonus winner and pays the doubles bonus winner a reward equal to, for example, 4 times the wager placed on the doubles bonus area 105 of the wagering section 102 of the board 101, in accordance with the predefined rules 108 a for winning the doubles bonus marked on the board 101 as exemplarily illustrated in FIGS. 2A-2B.

Example 8

A player places an ante on the ante area 103 and a wager on the doubles bonus area 105 of the wagering section 102 of the board 101. A dealer places the pair of dice 111 in the dice cup 112, shakes the dice 111 in the dice cup 112, and turns the dice cup 112 over on the board 101 to roll the dice 111 and reveal the numeric indicia on exposed faces of the rolled dice 111. The numeric indicia on the exposed faces of the rolled dice 111 are 2 and 5. Since the numeric indicia on the dice 111 do not match, there are no doubles. The dealer declares the player who placed the wager on the doubles bonus area 105 of the wagering section 102 of the board 101 as a doubles bonus loser and takes away the wager placed on the doubles bonus area 105 of the wagering section 102 of the board 101, however the dealer pays back the wager placed on the ante area 103 of the board 101 as the first numerical total is equal to the horns number.

Example 9

This example shows an outcome based on two players selecting different wagering methods. A first player and a second player place an ante, for example, $10 each to be in hand on their respective ante areas 103 of the wagering section 102 of the board 101. A dealer places the pair of dice 111 in the dice cup 112, shakes the dice 111 in the dice cup 112, and turns the dice cup 112 over on the board 101 to roll the dice 111 and reveal the numeric indicia on exposed faces of the rolled dice 111. The numeric indicia on the exposed faces of the rolled dice 111 are 4 and 2. The first numeric total of the numeric indicia on the exposed faces of the rolled dice 111 is 4+2=6. The first player places a wager of 3 times the placed ante, that is, $30, on the under area 106 of the wagering section 102 of the board 101 and the second player places a wager of 3 times the placed ante, that is, $30 on the over area 107 of the wagering section 102 of the board 101. The dealer places the dice 111 back in the dice cup 112, shakes the dice 111 in the dice cup 112, and turns the dice cup 112 over on the board 101 to roll the dice 111 and reveal the numeric indicia on the exposed faces of the rolled dice 111. The numeric indicia on the exposed faces of the rolled dice 111 are 5 and 5. The second numeric total of the numeric indicia on the exposed faces of the rolled dice 111 is 5+5=10. The first player loses and the second player wins since 10 is higher than 6. The dealer declares the first player as a loser and takes away the wager placed on the under area 106 of the wagering section 102 of the board 101 and the ante placed on the ante area 103 of the wagering section 102 of the board 101. The dealer declares the second player as a winner, pays $30 to the second player, that is, the wager placed on the over area 107 of the wagering section 102 of the board 101, and pushes back the ante placed on the ante area 103 of the wagering section 102 of the board 101 to the second player.

Example 10

A first player and a second player place an ante, for example, $10 on the respective ante area 103 of the wagering section 102 of the board 101 allocated for each player. The first player and the second player can play for bonuses such as a horns bonus and a doubles bonus in the activity. The first player places a wager of $5 on the horns bonus area 104 and a wager of $5 on the doubles bonus area 105 of the wagering section 102 of the board 101. The second player does not place wagers on the horns bonus area 104 and the doubles bonus area 105 of the wagering section 102 of the board 101. A dealer places the pair of dice 111 in the dice cup 112, shakes the dice 111 in the dice cup 112, and turns the dice cup 112 over on the board 101 to roll the dice 111 and reveal the numeric indicia on exposed faces of the rolled dice 111. The numeric indicia on the exposed faces of the rolled dice 111 are 1 and 1. The first numeric total of the numeric indicia on the exposed faces of the rolled dice 111 is 2. The first player loses the ante placed on the ante area 103 of the wagering section 102 due to the occurrence of a horns number on the first roll of the dice 111 in accordance with the predefined rules 108 b for losing the activity marked on the board 101 exemplarily illustrated in FIG. 1A, but wins the horns wager and the doubles wager with, for example, a 4 to 1 payout for each. The dealer declares the first player as a horns bonus winner and a doubles bonus winner. The dealer pays the first player, for example, 4 times the wager placed on the horns bonus area 104, and 4 times the wager placed on the doubles bonus area 105 of the wagering section 102 of the board 101 in accordance with the predefined rules 108 a for winning the activity marked on the board 101 exemplarily illustrated in FIG. 2A, and takes away the ante placed on the ante area 103 of the wagering section 102 of the board 101. The dealer declares the second player as a loser and takes away the ante placed on the ante area 103 of the wagering section 102 of the board 101 by the second player.

In an embodiment, the first player continues to roll the dice 111 until the first player loses the hand and then passes the dice 111 to the second player and the second player rolls the dice 111 until the second player loses the hand.
